Salah has scored five goals and supplied two assists in Liverpool's last six matches, averaging just under seven points in that run.

Leeds, meanwhile, suffered a 5-1 loss to Crystal Palace at Elland Road last weekend.

Salah takes his place in a 3-5-2 formation, with Erling Haaland (£12.2m) handed the armband and Harry Kane (£11.7m) named as vice-captain.

David De Gea (MUN) £5.0m
The Manchester United goalkeeper visits Nottingham Forest in excellent form in Fantasy. De Gea has five clean sheets, five save points and three bonus points in his last seven outings, totalling 38 points. 

Trent Alexander-Arnold (LIV) £7.3m
A new central midfield role for Liverpool can lift his attacking potential. Alexander-Arnold created a team-high four chances against Arsenal last weekend, while his assist for Roberto Firmino’s (£8.0m) equaliser was his first in seven matches.

Pedro Porro (TOT) £4.8m

Michael Keane (EVE) £4.2m
The Everton centre-back can reward managers at both ends of the pitch against Fulham at Goodison Park. Keane has amassed 16 points over his previous two home fixtures, producing a goal, a clean sheet and two bonus points.

Mohamed Salah (LIV) £12.8m
Salah's 20 shots in the box across the last six Gameweeks ranks top among midfielders.

Riyad Mahrez (MCI) £7.3m

Gabriel Martinelli (ARS) £6.7m
Martinelli has scored in each of his last four away matches ahead of a derby with West Ham United. He has collected 37 points across that period, with his goal and assist at Liverpool last weekend taking him to the top of the midfield standings on 175 points. 

Kaoru Mitoma (BHA) £5.7m
The Brighton & Hove Albion winger’s average of 6.4 points per start is more than any other midfielder in Fantasy this season. Mitoma travels to Chelsea on the back of two goals, four assists and only one blank in his last six matches. 

Michael Olise (CRY) £5.4m
A visit to Southampton gives the Palace playmaker an opportunity to bring in another big return. Olise supplied three assists against Leeds last weekend to earn his season-high 14 points.

Erling Haaland (MCI) £12.2m
Man City’s Norwegian averages 9.9 points per home start in his debut Fantasy campaign. His visitors, Leicester, have conceded an average of four goals per match in away meetings with the current top seven.

Harry Kane (TOT) £11.7m
Spurs’ talisman hosts AFC Bournemouth on the back of five goals, an assist and 41 points in his last five outings at home. The Cherries have conceded a league-high 38 away goals, including three goals at both Arsenal and Aston Villa across their last three road trips.
